The crankset is the heart of your bicycle and where you’ll find the SRAM Red Quarq power meter. The sole job of the crankset is to convert the effort from both legs to forward motion, making it is the perfect place to measure power.

The crank arms themselves have a top of the line Exogram hollow carbon fibre construction that not only cuts back on weight, but also maximises strength and speed. ANT+ transmission is built in allowing the crank to transmit to your ANT+ enabled bike computer. Quarq's free Qalvin app allows you to set up the crank by setting the zero offset, checking battery voltage and updating firmware. The Quarq features AxCad technology that switches the power meter on when cranks start turning so one, you save battery and two, you get accurate power, cadence and speed measurements. With an accuracy rating of +/- 1.5% and a IPX7 waterproof rating that means the crank can be submerged in one metre of water for up to 30 minutes.

The crankset is compatible with SRAM 1x or 2x road drivetrains so you can fully customise your chainring setup to suit your riding, whether that be cyclocross, TT or road riding.

SRAM Corporation is a bicycle component manufacturer based in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 1987. SRAM is an acronym comprising the names of its founders; Scott, Ray, and sAM, (where Ray is the middle name of company head Stan Day).

SRAM began with the goal of creating the absolute best shifting system and changed the cycling world forever with the introduction of Grip Shift in 1988. To support this innovation, SRAM invested in the Sachs Bicycle Company in 1997 and built a state of the art manufacturing facility in Schweinfurt Germany. They had the vision and desire to expand their presence in the industry, joining forces with one of the leading MTB suspension companies, RockShox, creating huge excitement in the global cycling community. Not content to stop there, SRAM knew expanding the range with the best brakes, bottom brackets, cranksets and wheels would fine-tune the brand even more. bringing on board Avid, Truvativ and Zipp.

Now that SRAM have achieved total drive train nirvana, they continue to seek and deploy technological and engineering advancements, as they compulsively refine and redefine the pinnacle of the ultimate ride.

See Red: When the pursuit of victory becomes so focused and single minded that nothing else matters.

Inspired by the search for competition-vanquishing advantages, SRAM has created a world where high-performance race-ready componentry is taken one step beyond. SRAM Red is a living lab focused on the design, development, and improvement of already revolutionary technology.

SRAM Red components are crafted with three major ideas in mind:One: Light weight: Engineered materials with a balanced minimalist design. The first true sub-1900g groupset!*Two: Higher efficiency: Component interaction, adjustment, feel, geometry, ergonomics, and fine-tuned gear ranges mean you go faster, longer, with less energyThree: Advanced materials: From materials including carbon, titanium, and ceramic bearings all the way to standard-setting surface finishes.
